[TechAssist] Toshiba 20A42, Dead with two shorted rectifiers

This set seems to have taken a lightning hit, two rectifiers and the fuse were 
gone.

Now it won't come up all the way, it seems that high voltage might be starting, 
barely, but then everything is quiet. B+ voltage doesn't seem right, it's 
sitting at 165 when the set is off, when the set is turned on, it takes on 
different random values, 105 one time, 115 the next, 110 the next time. The B+ 
adjust pot has no affect. Other PS secondary voltages seem to be present, the 
power led is on when the set is on. I have a schematic, but some of the 
voltages listed there seem wrong, as though they were measured from the wrong 
reference ground.

The set is not worth doing much to, but if someone has any ideas that would be 
appreciated. Thanks
